6 Claims. 011211-123) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in necktie holders.

More particularly the invention proposes a necktie holder which is characterized by a pair of spaced brackets adapted to be attached on a wall door or other support, strips pivotally mounted on said brackets in a certain way, and a certain arrangement of spaced rods mounted on said strips to facilitate the holding, display, and release of neckties mounted thereon.

More specifically it is proposedto provide a pair of vertically spaced rods mounted in such a way on said strips, that in a normal position the neckties may be engaged around the upper rod and extended downwards to rest against the lower rod so that the neckties are held against accidental shifting. Furthermore it is proposed that in a pivoted position of the strips, the pair of spaced rods be moved to a position in which the necktie or neckties mounted on the upper rod freely depend without touching the lower rod so as to be easily removed and replaced.

Still further the invention proposes a novel construction whereby the spaced rods may be removed from the pivotal strips when desired. Another object of this invention resides in so constructing the spaced rods that they may be extended and contracted to vary the overall tures of the invention are'more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a necktie holder constructed in accordance. with this inventionand illustrated mounted upon a support.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of a portion of the support shown in Fig. 1 taken above the necktie holder so that the necktie holder is viewed from the top. However, in this view certain parts of the necktie holder have been illustrated in different positions to those shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary certain parts shown in Fig. '7. 7

The necktie holder in accordance with this invention includes a pair of spaced brackets I0 and. II which are illustrated as mounted upon a wall door, or other support I2. A strip I3 is pivotally mounted on the inner face of each of said brackets! and H by -pintles l4. The strips I3 are so arranged that the main portions thereof extend rearwards of'the pivotal pintles I4. 'A' pair of verticallyspaced rods IB'and I6 are mounted between the strips I3 rearwards of their pivots, that is rearwards of the pintles I4. The rods I5 and I6 are. of therconstruction so that they may be extended or contracted to change the overall length for necktie holder. More specifically the rod I5'inc1udes a channel perspective view of shaped outer section w which is fixedly attached on one of the strips I3, and in which an inner section I5 is slidably engaged. This inner section I5 is attached to the other one ofpintle pins It. A spacer- H is engaged between each of the side arms I? and I3 at the front endsthereof. Thepintles I4 are mounted upon the brackets I I and extend through openings in the side arms I3 and I3 and the spacers I1, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 5.

A flange I8 is arranged on one of the brackets of the device, as illustrated in the drawing, it is on the bracket II. This flange I8 projects from the bottom edge of the bracket II, and extends beneath the adjacent strip I3 for supporting this J strip, and so indirectly supporting the spaced rods J and I6 and the other strip [3, in a normally rearwardly extended position. Another flange I9 is also arranged on and projects from the bracket II, and forms a stop to support the adjacent strip l3 in an upwardly and forwardly pivoted position, as illustrated particularly in Fig. 4, in which the top one of the rods I 5 and I6, is forwards of the pintles [4. The strip I3 is also provided with a projecting portion which forms a handle by which it may be conveniently moved.

The operation of the device is as follows:

The handle 20 may be moved downwards so as to pivot the strips l3, and the rods l5 and 16,120 the positions shown in Fig. 4. In this position of the parts, the neckties may be engaged over the rod IS. The dot and dash line '24 in 4 schematically illustrates the necktie supported on the rod l5. llt should be noticed that the necktie 2|, or 'neckties, depend .forwards of the pintles 14, so as to maintain the strips 13in forward positions in which one of the strips t3 engages against the flange l9. After the necktie has been placed in position as shown :in Fig. 4, the handle 20 is moved upwards soas topivoit the strips 113 rearwards, and thus the rods 15 and 16, back to the position illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3. Now the necktie which is mounted ou the rod 15, will be bent as illustrated by the dot and dash lines 2| in Fig. 3, and the full lines 2i in 1. From Fig. 3 it will be readily recognized that the necktie is now depending rearwards of the pintles M which causes the rods l5 and IE to remain in their rearward positions. The strip t3 rests on the flange t8. Since the necktie is engaging both the rods 15 i6, it will be held against accidental shifting.

In Figs. 16 to 8 inclusive a modified fomn of the invention has been disclosed which distinguishes from the prior form in an arrangement whereby the rods t5 and t6 may be removed from the supporting strips 13'. In this form of theinvention the ends of the rods .15 and 4B are soldered or in any other way fixedly mounted on channel shaped slides 21. These slides .are slidably mounted on the strips 13'. 'The rods I5" and 16' are of telescopic construction, as previously described, and the sections thereof are indicated by the same reference numerals as previously used.

In other respects this form of invention is identical to the 'prior form, and the identical parts maybe recognized since they have been given the same reference numerals.

While I have illustrated and described the pre ferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
